libata: honour host controllers that want just one host
The Marvell IDE interface on my machine would hit a BUG_ON() in
lib/iomem.c because it was calling ata_pci_init_one() specifying just a
single port on the host, but that would actually end up trying to
initialize two ports, the second one with bogus information.
This fixes "ata_pci_init_one()" so that it actually passes down the
n_ports variable that it got from the low-level driver to the host
allocation routine ("ata_host_alloc_pinfo()"), which results in the ATA
layer actually having the correct port number information.
And in order to make it all work, I also needed to fix a few places that
had incorrectly hard-coded the fact that a host always had exactly two
ports (both ata_pci_init_bmdma() and ata_request_legacy_irqs() would
just always iterate over both ports).

rework pm_ops pm_disk_mode, kill misuse
This patch series cleans up some misconceptions about pm_ops. Some users of
the pm_ops structure attempt to use it to stop the user from entering suspend
to disk, this, however, is not possible since the user can always use
"shutdown" in /sys/power/disk and then the pm_ops are never invoked. Also,
platforms that don't support suspend to disk simply should not allow
configuring SOFTWARE_SUSPEND (read the help text on it, it only selects
suspend to disk and nothing else, all the other stuff depends on PM).
The pm_ops structure is actually intended to provide a way to enter
platform-defined sleep states (currently supported states are "standby" and
"mem" (suspend to ram)) and additionally (if SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is configured)
allows a platform to support a platform specific way to enter low-power mode
once everything has been saved to disk. This is currently only used by ACPI
(S4).
This patch:
The pm_ops.pm_disk_mode is used in totally bogus ways since nobody really
seems to understand what it actually does.
This patch clarifies the pm_disk_mode description.
It also removes all the arm and sh users that think they can veto suspend to
disk via pm_ops; not so since the user can always do echo shutdown >
/sys/power/disk, they need to find a better way involving Kconfig or such.
ACPI is the only user left with a non-zero pm_disk_mode.
The patch also sets the default mode to shutdown again, but when a new pm_ops
is registered its pm_disk_mode is selected as default, that way the default
stays for ACPI where it is apparently required.

because the whole chain must be examined to find the best match.

take into account both their port number and address : This has a
drawback because we need two lookups : one with a given address, one
with a wildcard (null) address.

Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed
in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed
256 entry pre-allocation.
There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need
enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets
scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side.
This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box.
cfq hash is no more necessary. We always can get cfqq from io context.
cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() function is introduced, because we don't
want to allocate cic on merging and checking may_queue. In order to
identify sync queue we've used hash key = CFQ_KEY_ASYNC. Since hash is
eliminated we need to use other criterion: sync flag for queue is added.
In all places where we dig in rb_tree we're in current context, so no
additional locking is required.
Advantages of this patch: no additional memory for hash, no seeking in
hash, code is cleaner. But it is necessary now to seek cic in per-ioc
rbtree, but it is faster:
- most processes work only with few devices
- most systems have only few block devices
- it is a rb-tree

Changes by me:
- Merge into CFQ devel branch
- Get rid of cfq_get_io_context_noalloc()
- Fix various bugs with dereferencing cic->cfqq[] with offset other
than 0 or 1.
- Fix bug in cfqq setup, is_sync condition was reversed.
- Fix bug where only bio_sync() is used, we need to check for a READ too
It's only used for preemption now that the IDLE and RT queues also
use the rbtree. If we pass an 'add_front' variable to
cfq_service_tree_add(), we can set ->rb_key to 0 to force insertion
at the front of the tree.
Currently CFQ does a linked insert into the current list for RT
queues. We can just factor the class into the rb insertion,
and then we don't have to treat RT queues in a special way. It's
faster, too.
For cases where the rbtree is mainly used for sorting and min retrieval,
a nice speedup of the rbtree code is to maintain a cache of the leftmost
node in the tree.
Also spotted in the CFS CPU scheduler code.
Improved by Alan D. Brunelle <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> by updating the
leftmost hint in cfq_rb_first() if it isn't set, instead of only
updating it on insert.
cfq-iosched: rework the whole round-robin list concept
Drawing on some inspiration from the CFS CPU scheduler design, overhaul
the pending cfq_queue concept list management. Currently CFQ uses a
doubly linked list per priority level for sorting and service uses.
Kill those lists and maintain an rbtree of cfq_queue's, sorted by when
to service them.
This unfortunately means that the ionice levels aren't as strong
anymore, will work on improving those later. We only scale the slice
time now, not the number of times we service. This means that latency
is better (for all priority levels), but that the distinction between
the highest and lower levels aren't as big.
- Move the queue_new flag clear to when the queue is selected
- Only select the non-first queue in cfq_get_best_queue(), if there's
a substantial difference between the best and first.
- Get rid of ->busy_rr
- Only select a close cooperator, if the current queue is known to take
a while to "think".
- Implement logic for detecting cooperating processes, so we
choose the best available queue whenever possible.
- Improve residual slice time accounting.
- Remove dead code: we no longer see async requests coming in on
sync queues. That part was removed a long time ago. That means
that we can also remove the difference between cfq_cfqq_sync()
and cfq_cfqq_class_sync(), they are now indentical. And we can
kill the on_dispatch array, just make it a counter.
- Allow a process to go into the current list, if it hasn't been
serviced in this scheduler tick yet.
Possible future improvements including caching the cfqq lookup
in cfq_close_cooperator(), so we don't have to look it up twice.
cfq_get_best_queue() should just use that last decision instead
of doing it again.

cfq-iosched: improve preemption for cooperating tasks
When testing the syslet async io approach, I discovered that CFQ
sometimes didn't perform as well as expected. cfq_should_preempt()
needs to better check for cooperating tasks, so fix that by allowing
preemption of an equal priority queue if the recently queued request
is as good a candidate for IO as the one we are currently waiting for.

[POWERPC] Remove dev_dbg redefinition in drivers/ps3/vuart.c
Commit 404d5b185b4eb56d6fa2f7bd27833f8df1c38ce4 changed the definition
of dev_dbg in the !DEBUG case from being a #define to being a static
inline. There was code in drivers/ps3/vuart.c to do exactly that,
which fails to compile now. This fixes it by removing the redefinition,
as the redefinition is now superfluous.

[POWERPC] Remove the unused HTDMSOUND driver
Recently, someone fixed a syntax error in the HTDMSOUND driver
introduced 4 years ago.
Unfortunately not by trying to compile this driver for his hardware but
by code inspection - which seems to be a strong indication that there
are no users left for this OSS sound driver.
This patch therefore removes it.

[POWERPC] New registration for common Xilinx Virtex ppc405 platform devices
Currently virtex support in mainline make use of the infrastructure in
arch/ppc/syslib/ppc_sys.c for registering common devices on virtex ppc405
platforms. The ppc_sys.c code is not well suited to the dynamic nature of
FPGA designs and makes adding new board ports more complex. This patch
adds a new listing of common devices which does not depend on the ppc_sys.c
infrastructure.

Reverse dependency order for Xilinx Virtex parts. For these parts, It
